Lorraine's Story
"I started in a well known London salon, way back in… let's see… 1974!! I did extra training in colour with Daniel Galvin in London’s West End. From there I went to Germany to work as a stylist, and taught colouring techniques in other salons… even doing some stage work which was amazing creating all sorts of outrageous looks and really getting to play. I returned to the UK to work as a colour technician for a further 5 years before having a family and moving to New Zealand in 1994.
After bringing up my children I decided I really needed find 'me' again. After looking at different careers, I looked at what I wanted out of a job... to meet nice, interesting people, to make them feel good and have fun... in other words, hairdressing!! The opportunity of having my own salon came up and here we are 2 years later and going strong.
